About Hyundai Santa Fe
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a sport utility vehicle. It has been produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 2000. It was introduced as the first SUV of the company. The Santa Fe was significant for the company in the late 1990s because the SUV was a hit with drivers. It fills the gap between the compact sedan and the midsize sedan in Hyundai's SUV lineup. It still seats five passengers. But it offers more room than the small sedan, and it's more affordable than the larger sedan. Hyundai Santa Fe also provides a few different engine choices, including a hybrid and a new plug-in hybrid.
In its first year in production, a fuel-efficient 2.4 L four-cylinder engine was standard equipment. The Hyundai Santa Fe was mated with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive was standard and 4WD was optional. In mid-2002, Hyundai increased fuel tank capacity from 64 to 71 L (14.1 to 15.6 imp gal; 16.9 to 18.8 US gal). In 2006, the second generation of Santa Fe debuted at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. In the United States, the new generation is available in GLS, SE, and Limited versions. Several new safety features were applied to the Hyundai Santa Fe. The second-generation model was among the top 10 vehicles in 2008 because of its safety and reliability. Thereafter, the sedan received only minor changes thereafter. The demand for Hyundai Santa Fe continued to be up.

The third generation was introduced at New York Auto Show in 2012. It was available in two versions. The first variant is a shorter 5-seat sports sedan. The other is an extended long-wheelbase version. For the shorter model, three-row seating was not available. While the extended version has three rows of seats, and it offers large room for six or seven passengers. The long-wheelbase is offered in North America exclusively with a 3.3 L, 290 horsepower (216 kW) V6 engine. It provides the highest output of any vehicle in its class at the time. Both of them gained popularity among consumers. On 21 February 2018, the fourth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe was unveiled in South Korea. The launch was followed by the Geneva Motor Show in March. The fourth-generation model is a two-row SUV. It is similar to the sedan's previous Sports model. The fourth-generation model entered the North American market in mid-2018 as a refreshed model.
